chest or anything to hang onto. >> they talked over and over about the will to survive, they talk the ones that are missing also have a will to survive. >> so interestings to hear their stories, the more that we hear, the less it sounds like it was a 100% accident, that in in fact these things that they are saying are true about the life jackets and the captain, it will be interesting to see how it turns out in the end. >> reporter: i'm sure the investigation will continue. but they sure have strong feelings about what happened. >> don now vat oh, thank you. jaycee dugard gave an advance interview. elizabeth cook has early details from her moment war. >> you just do what you have to do to survive. >> reporter: this is the first time we're hearing the voice of jaycee dugard. here she tells abc about the birth of her first child when she was just 14.

closed captioning for "eyewitness news" brought to you by shreve & co. jewelers, a san francisco original. the world's most famous newlyweds are coming to los angeles tomorrow. not after a little controversy. when prince william and his wife kate arrived in calgary they were presented with a traditional gift by the city's mayor. a pair of white cowboy hats, they committed a social faux pas when they didn't immediately don the head wear. social networks were abuzz with this perceived snub. the duke and dutch et recovered a little later and they went ahead and wore the signature hats. congressional leaders say they are no closer to reaching a budget deal.

11:17 pm
glow these fish are a little bit weak from being brought up. >> reporter: experts say because rock fish are deep water fish they have to be released the right way to recompress. >> they need a little bit of help. they need to get down to the point where they are knut rally bouyant and they can swim away on their own. >> reporter: he is working with marine biologists to develop techniques to save them and took us out on his boat, the houley cat, to show us how. >> all right. >> reporter: when they are reeled in from 180 feet down rock fish develop an air pocket to survive. >> things get pushed out, their eyes might bug out. >> reporter: all that air makes them float and prevents them from going back down on their own. >> that can all be reversed. >> reversed by lowering them back down to depth. this video from researchers show the rock fish being lowered down in a milk crate. you can see the bloated fish literally shrink down to normal and swim away.
11:18 pm
>> and sticking this through the membrane. >> reporter: on the houley cat they descend the fish with a special weighted hook. >> we're going to give it 30 to 60 feet, give a little tug on the release, so we bring it back up and no fish. >> reporter: studies have shown that this little low-tech device could potentially save a threatened species. but tom's boat is one of the few that has one on deck and uses it. we took our information to tom mud rick. have you seen something like this before happen. >> oh absolutely. this is something on board fishing vessels that don't use descending devices, they should have a descending device on board and be prepared to use it. it is to some degree negligence. >> reporter: so what are they doing about it? >> we have been distributing these brochures to anglers. >> reporter: but he admits fish and game regulations only forbid anglers from bringing canature reese back to shore. there are no regulations about
11:19 pm
